The phone is a remarkably complex, simple device,

I have a Stromberg blue that I used the Sally 30 on, 2 hours, packed in a plastic tub in sunlight as I have done before with success. See pic for before shot, was really bad, note the small blue area where a decal was and the mouth piece turned upside down for reference. All parts came back 100% except the top side of the hand set. It had a white spot and a greenish tinted line straight down the middle running the length of the handset. I started wet sanding 600- 1500 but am noticing its getting worse, more greenish than blue now. I know its a solid blue handset, but its almost like i'm sanding down to a green phone. Any idea what I need to do differently? Thanks

How about posting a picture of the handset as you now see it, after sanding? Thanks.

I'm sorry, it is an AE, my other red was a stromberg, sorry. The inside of the handset is as blue as the phone body. I am using 600, should i step down to a 400 and work back to 600 and then up? Thanks for the help
